Mike Zimmer feasted during odd seasons (playoffs in 2015, 2017 and 2019). He was finally undone with two subpar in a row (2020 and 2021).
O’Connell has worked even-year magic (27 combined wins in 2022 and 2024).
The Vikings haven’t made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since 2008 and 2009.
3 playoff wins in 21 years of the Wilf era is pathetic.

I think this points to one ever living resounding piece of evidence. The Vikings can not and have not found a consistent franchise starting Quarterback. I would say since 2009, our best quarterback has been Kirk Cousins.... Teddy may have been close, but look around... It's been a shit storm at QB, heck even all the way back to the Tommy Kramer days ...who himself couldn't stay healthy.(Daunte Culpepper may have been the closest before the knee blowout)
